Market Activity for August 24th to 30th, 2009

It sure feels to me like summer is winding down with cooler evenings and the leaves starting to turn color.  However, that is not the case in the local housing market.  OK, I know it is still not as hot as it was before July of 2007, but compared to recent market activity, last week [...]

I have a very great fondness for the [...]

Lake Oswego Market Activity ~ August 17 – 23, 2009

Last week Lake Oswego saw 12 New properties hit the market, while 10 went Pending and 15 Sold.

All over we are seeing the typical house-buying frenzy that usually occurs before the start of a new school year.  Notably, we are also seeing an uptick in sales over last year as pointed out in the lastest [...]

Market Activity for August 10-16, 2009

Last week brought 11 new listings to Lake Oswego, 12 Pending sales, and 12 closed sales. Interesting to me was that all of the new listings are around 500k or less. That is the price range that is selling best. There is a very direct impact, in my opinion, on the sales [...]

Community Gardens and the Bounty of Summer

Here in Lake Oswego we are blessed with the long, warm days of summer that come on the heals of the misty and rainy days of May and June.  The combination, along with personal commitment to gardening, leads to a rich bounty that is currently at its abundant peak.  I don’t know of a better [...]
